Hi, everybody. I'm Stephanie Wilder Taylor and this is Drunkish. I wrote a book called Drunkish where I told my

sobriety story. And now I have a podcast so I can hear other people's stories that you don't even

have to be sober to listen. So curl up with a mocktail or a beer. There's no judgment here.

And please, please give me a review on whatever platform

you listen to your podcast. It really will help me out. And today, I'm so excited about my guest

Lisa Lampinelli. She had a long career as a stand-up comedian. She was known as the queen of mean.

But you guys, she's retired from stand-up, and she's nice now, which you're going to hear all about.

She also currently hosts the IHeart podcast, Shrink This, where she and her co-host, Nick, discuss real-life issues submitted by listeners.

And we had such a good conversation about food issues, codependency, and so with Lisa. How are you? Hey, girl. So good to reconnect.

I know. I had you, you made a couple of appearances, I feel like, on for crying out

it's drunkish, yes? Drunkish, yeah. So I see this and I didn't even look at the author. I'm just

like, oh, this is right up my alley. I'm listening to it. I'm like, boy, that voice sounds so familiar. And then I don't see it's your name. And I'm like, well, of course it is. I love that book so much. Oh, thank you. I was so obsessed with that. I think I listened to it like in one shot on a drive.

I was like, this is the best. It was very honest. It's very easy writing. Yeah. I mean,

I mean, it was easy listening because I was like fascinated. And I just thought it was so revealing and

honest and I just love vulnerability. So good for you, man. Congratulations.

Listen, it's what I'm interested in. I write what I want to read or listen to. And one of the things

I think for me that's helped for me with like 12 step and this kind of recovery is just other people's

stories. You know, I say it in my intro to this

podcast, but I really mean it like that to me it's not the God stuff. It's not the I'm just not
